Sharing wirelessly using ANT+
®
wireless technology
: Allows
you to add a dog collar device that you do not own and that is
not in the area. The dog's owner must determine if you can
only track the dog or can track and train the dog. This method
does not require the dog's owner to find and communicate
the codes to the person adding the dog collar device. This
method also adds dog information, such as the dog's name,
communication settings, and initial position, from the sending
handheld device to your device. The two handheld devices
must be within range 3 m (10 ft.) to share data wirelessly.
This method is helpful when you want to add a dog collar
device during a hunt, but you are not near the dog. For
example, the dogs have already been let loose, and you are
near the dog owner, who can share the dog wirelessly
(
).
